<p>Hey guys</p>
<p>I'm not a big fan of the "chances" posts but these past few days have gotten me soooo nervous about that letter that could be coming any day now. I applied ED to Steinhardt for Speech Therapy. </p>

<p>Other
I'm fluent in Russian and a legacy (mom went to NYU). I took a non-credit intro to markets class at NYU in the summer</p>
<p>so yea guys tell me what you think. I appreciate it.</p>
<p>the dreaded "you get your response in 2-3 days" reply</p>
<p>either your in or GSP</p>
<p>I would say GSP is looking like a no since most if not all of them seem to have come out already</p>
<p>well stein is pretty easy. so yea you're probably in or in gsp</p>
<p>i would say you're in..</p>
<p>only because i remember looking at all the ED posts on an LJ community last year and they were taking steinhardt kids for education and speech from like as low as 1200 sat's.</p>
<p>wow haha thanks alex, made me feel 100X better. Did you apply to CAS ED?</p>
<p>hahah oh no im right there wiht you in steinhardt.</p>
<p>i basically wanna major in wirting, which is damn near impossible anywhere, so it was a toss up between CAS and steinhardt for communications and i saw steinhardt seemed to be less harsh.. so here i am.</p>
<p>your stats and mine are pratically identical, definitely didn't mean to come off offensive hah</p>
<p>and i didn't mean to say you're in only cus they accept low people..</p>
<p>i meant it as why i said only "in" and not a chance of GSP or anything.</p>
<p>i never tell poeple i think they're "in", i'd feel too bad.</p>
<p>alex: I wasn't saying I felt better because you said you think I'm in, I was more reassured by the fact that you said stein kids had SAT's as low as 1200. im hoping my higher SATs will compensate for other things...</p>
<p>I do realize that a poster on CC can't really predict an "in" at any school :)</p>
<p>Thanks for your input</p>
